BENEFITS & DESCRIPTION

In an emergency, having a sufficient supply of clean water is essential. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) stresses the importance of storing at least one gallon of water per person per day in your emergency supply for washing, cooking and cleaning.

The 55-Gallon Water Storage Barrel provides an inexpensive means to safely store emergency water for 5-years when treated with Water Preserver Concentrate drops (sold separately)

The coloring of this barrel is specifically designed to block UV rays in order to prevent the growth of algae and bacteria. This allows for both indoor and outdoor storage of your water supply.

Use your supply of clean water for cooking, cleaning, washing, and drinking.

Following a disaster, there may not be any safe drinking water available. When the electricity goes out, water treatment plants may stop working causing tap water to become unsafe for consumption. Emergency responders may not be able to deliver water to your area safely and it may not be safe or possible to boil water due to broken gas lines. Ensure you and your family are self-sufficient by storing purified drinking water in the 55 gallon barrel.
